About the Item
This set of hand-carved wooden tribal figures once served as traditional molds for creating papier-mâché effigies used in ceremonial practices in Myanmar. Each mold is shaped with expressive, stylized features characteristic of local tribal aesthetics, preserving the cultural and ritual significance of 19th-century craftsmanship.
Their weathered surfaces, softened by time and use, add authenticity and a strong sculptural presence, making them compelling artifacts for collectors of ethnographic art.
